Mr Editor Perhaps a few reflec
tions or observations on the changbs in
the looks of your town and remarks on
bow the people look tooue who is visit-
ling here a few days after an absence of
several years would interest some of
your readers If one bad spent those
yeurs among strangers in different places
iarid then should drop into this town of
McCook unexpectedly make his way
frora the depot up as far as the post-
office and while waiting for his mail to
be sorted out allow his mind to run
L back over the different people who got
in front of him with outstretched hand
and smiling face with Why hello
when did you get in How long can
you stay Come up to the house want
to talk to you got a place for you to
sleep It would make him look back
over his business transactions to see if
he could pick out a reason why the
people should be so glad to see him
then not finding anything but the
usual business relations of a busy timt
spent for a few years on a ranch up the
rjver a few miles he would be forced to
the conclusion of the writer that the
citizens of McCook are all right They
show by their looks too
First the mayor of the town will grab
one with bis hearty handclasp and
you observe that he looks as if he was a
good feeder as in days of yore when ho
was feeding the people at the old stand
Then as he tears himself away he leaved
the key to the city and a pointer as to
wriich are the best picture shows While
you are still meditating on what part ot
the town to use the key first you see
Bryan no that cant bo Bryan why
its Foxeu But he is all right anyway
if he is looking more like Bryan every
day You escape from him and hello
there is a grain dealer he too shows
sigus of prosperity Then look out
Dodge Matt Drolls auto and find our
self yanked into a carriage and intro
duced to a farmer from Lincoln Then
a ride over the best roads ever back to
town where a former meat cutter fills
you with wholesome food while you won
der why you didnt ask that man S2000
more for that farm but the contract
is signed and nothing to do while the
pay is i eing freighted to you except to
eat sleep visit and wonder why Frank
lin should look younger Wh Watkins
shaves the top of his head for What
the people want with all the new pianos
Why is it you cant find a man in the
county who is owing Berry any money
And finally what the people will do
when the bojs are all grown up and the
ducks all lulled
McCook must be all right even if
Frank Everist who is try ing to get
everyone to the sunny San Luis valley
has evidently been sitting for photos of
Taft
Evidently tho people of McCook have
faith in the future of their town and
most of them have clear consciences
Some few look as if remorse was con
suming them but Prof Kimmell says
they could be blown away Sure they
wont be missed longi

How tho Debt Was Collected
In the home of a certain influential
family they arose one morning to find
that no breakfast had been prepared
even the kitchen fire had not been
lighted Upon investigation the cook
was discovered peacefully reclining in
bed
Are you ill inquired the mistress
Not at all I feel quite well was
the surprising response but still no
persuasion would induce her to arise
After a time the doctor was sent for
He put to her his usual questions but
the girl insisted that she felt perfectly
well
If as you say you are not ill said
the man of pills and potions then tell
me in confidence why you wont get
up and go to work
Well said the girl resolutely
these people owe me 25 and I wont
stir uutil they pay it
Do yoii think youll get it quicker
by staying in bed asked the doctor
I most certainly do she replied
with a gleam of the eye that expressed
determination to fight it out on that
line if it took all summer
The doctor advancing said Roll
over and stay there Thats the only
way youll get it They owe me 80

Marriage In Japan
A Japanese husband is allowed onlv
one wife but to marry is sometimes a
much more serious matter than with
us Either the husband must be form
ally adopted into -the family of the
wife or the wife into the family of the
husband the couple being absorbed
into oue family and subject to its
discipline As a rule this custom
weighs more heavily on the bride than
on the husband for she must not only j
obey her husband but every member
of his family of an older generation j
than himself hence a young woman
often longs for old age so that she
may wield authority over the younger
generations To bring about a mar
riage in Japan an intermediary is ap
pointed whose duty it Is to introduce
the parties and to look to every ar
rangement of the wedding He re
mains through life the guide philos

ple who refer all matters all misun
